nice mate how did you modify the slx cranks? just chop off the extra bits you didnt need?

nice video man really enjoyed it makes me want to go ride now (Y) keep it up

shreds are only hardtail so probably wont be any good for downhill use really although people do use them. for 200 to 350 your going to struggle to find a downhill bike have a look on pinkbike.com there are loads of downhill/freeride bikes for sale on there some are quite cheap ive just had a quick look, but you may need to stretch a few hundred pounds furthur i think to get a decent one

i think it looks good i like how the pads and bashring and hubs are also green green and black is a good combo and the stickers are well placed and finish the look off for me

Hey guys im riding a mad phase 1.2 with a 110mm by 25 degrees (i think) my problem is at the moment but i cant seem to get over the feeling that i am far to far forward on the bike meaning i cant seem to bunnyhop it very well my technique is fine i can bunnyhop my other bike all day long, ive seen a few stems on tarty My link now comes the question If i went for a slightly shorter/higher stem would that improve the handling of the bike??? but not lose the trials ability at the same time if you understood that any help would be appreciated

good video man although the music did make me want to out and knock some people over id say some of those sidehops were quite special

smooth and stylish loved it ali's skills on the front wheel were amazing

that is class i nearly choked on my drink

i used to have a old school kona stab then switched to a stinky primo but i never did much downhill so i decided to part ex it for my santa cruz buillit that i have now brilliant bike so simple and so nice to ride i have ridden quite a few downhill tracks on it not racing but the frame is more than capaable of uk tracks you can get a saracen myst (i think thats what its called) its a cheap entry level downhill bike ready to go out the box rated quite highly by MBUK for around £2500 or for double that price you have the trek session 88 and everything in between and thats just brand new second hand is an even bigger minefield

there are literally hundreds of choices when it comes to downhill bikes dude, what sorta budget you got? second hand or brand new? downhill bikes are very good at one thing only that is going downhill going back up really isnt on the menu so if you are thinking about dabbling in a bit of downhill and then having a punt around the local woods or trail centres you'd be much better going for an alpine based bike i used to have a downhill bike and now have a alpine bike and i can the alpine bike is a million times better unless your going to be serious about riding downhill then id go for a lighter more pedalable bike, just my opionion though mate

they pinched the fox racing truck last week luckily they got it back minus all the kit of course, but id like to see someone walk into a bike shop with that and go how much for this mate a custom one of a kind trek downhill bike good luck selling that

thats nice mate i like the colours green and gold is always a good combo

ive just fitted the tensile 4 bolt on my 1.2 even after a couple of pedal kicks round the garden to make sure everything was ok it felt better could be a mental thing or just no flex but the difference is amazing standing still squeezing the brake before the frame flexxed like a biatch now none whatsoever

you dont need a freehub mate you can use a fixed rear hub and go with the front freewheel but you will still need a tensioner of some sorts, i have a 1.2 myself i got a pro 2 off a lad on here and my bike shop laced it to the rim that comes standard the rim is more than strong enough so dont worry about buying a new rim. i had the same nightmare with the standard hub it isnt ideal but a second hand pro 2 (just make sure you get the right one either 32 or 36) the rims we have are 36 but i would still count just to be sure shouldnt cost a fortune and will feel a lot better. tioz when doing a endo keep your pedals horizontol just start off small maybe a few inches then go a little furthur and then some more and eventually you'll end up flat on the face might be worth doing it on grass i forgot about trashzen i use it myself as it has step by step guides

hiya dude welcome to the forum good luck with getting the funds for a echo theres always a few second hand ones knocking around on here
